Leaking coolant from side of block, not freeze plugs
I parked my jeep yesterday and while I was outside I see a puddle forming, it's medium size, alot bigger than my trans and oil leak so I crawl underneath and see coolant dripping off the oil pan. I search but can't find the culprit, it's late I'm going to bed. I just woke up and cranked the engine, wiped away the coolant and waited. Slowly after barely getting to the second mark on the temp idiot gauge it starts dripping. I look around water pump and that's dry, I find a new oil leak but I will deal with that later. I just put the freeze plugs in a few months ago but it looks like it's leaking from above the plugs, going around down to the pan, did I crack my block....

It's cracked
I pulled the intake and exhaust, two hairline cracks just above the freeze plugs. I put some jb weld on it and will get some engine block Sealent soon until I can afford to get a junk yard engine, no more long trips for me.
